My mom just turned 87 on March 2. She told me recently that she learned to sew in school on treadles. Or as she calls them, pedal machines. It makes you wonder what happened to all those old machines. Hopefully, some of them are still loved and in use today.

Singer's "On the Dock" 1903 (check the right side of the photo): http://www.shorpy.com/node/12046
Some things never change... I can't help but notice that all the Singer labels on the crates are upside down, implying the crates are upside down!

What amazed me was the "openness" of the packaging.

I had seen some of these photos before, and always enjoy them. Thanks for posting some that I hadn’t found before.
